This latest move by Palm should do much to maintain the brand's credibility as a cross-platform choice. The firm may not have had the resources for supporting Macs in Cobalt. Of it might have decided the market was too small to justify the conversion project. Switching to a more open standard lowers the investment required of them - and of third party vendors - to make their products work in a wider range of environments. Smart move all around.

With the Palm, I had to make the changes, manually hit the "Sync" button and wait for it to finish - not only was it extremely annoying and time consuming but it meant you couldn't just grab your PDA at any time and know you're completely up to date.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/palmsource-switching-from-hotsync-to-syncml/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/palmsource-switching-from-hotsync-to-syncml/Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/palmsource-switching-from-hotsync-to-syncml/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/palmsource-switching-from-hotsync-to-syncml/
The issue was more of a support issue than anything - a disportionate number of Apple people were apparently calling in then they could handle - this happened with Intuit a few years back, then they saw just how many people that had Macs used Quicken/Quickbooks - so they started producing both again.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/palmsource-switching-from-hotsync-to-syncml/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/palmsource-switching-from-hotsync-to-syncml/Dec 19th 2005 12:10AM
